Cabazon Band first tribe to license Starbucks


The Cabazon Band of Mission Indians is holding a grand opening today for its Starbucks coffee shop.

The tribe is the first in Indian Country to license Starbucks directly. There are two other Starbucks on reservations but they are held by a third-party licensee.

The tribe is donating all the proceeds from today's sales to the Boys & Girls Club of Coachella Valley.

The Starbucks is located at the tribe's casino resort.
